Personal Agency Support Questionnaire in Acute Psychiatric Inpatients: Development and Instrument Validation Study.
Article in Asian/Pacific Island nursing journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Promoting personal agency may reduce perceived coercion and facilitate recovery in acute psychiatric care. However, no patient-reported tool currently exists to evaluate support for personal agency in this setting. Objective: This study aimed to develop a patient-reported tool (the Personal Agency Support Questionnaire [PASQ]) to assess perceived support for personal agency and to evaluate its psychometric properties among inpatients in acute psychiatric wards. Methods: We used a literature review and focus group interviews to generate a pool of items for the questionnaire, which was then refined using cognitive interviews and a pretest. We evaluated the construct validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability of the newly developed PASQ using a cross-sectional survey of inpatients in acute psychiatric wards. This study was conducted in collaboration with individuals who have lived experiences of mental illness. Results: We analyzed data from 109 respondents (response rate: 109/178, 61.2%; mean age: 52.9, SD 16.9 years; women participants: 59/109, 54.1%; diagnosed with schizophrenia: 61/109, 56%). The 10-item PASQ demonstrated excellent convergent validity and acceptable discriminant validity. Internal consistency was high (Cronbach α=0.92), and test-retest reliability was moderate (intraclass correlation coefficient 0.68). Conclusions: This PASQ is a valuable tool for assessing personal agency support in acute psychiatric wards, demonstrating promise for both clinical use in acute psychiatric wards and clinical research.
